Connection to a Television Distribution

System (Cable TV etc.) from Tuner

Device connected to the protective earthing of the

building installation through the mains connection or

through other apparatus with a connection to protective

earthing-and to a television distribution system using

coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a

re hazard.

Connection to a cable distribution system has

therefore to be provided through a device providing

electrical isolation below a certain frequency range

(galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).

CAUTION

Do not put your ngers in the middle between the TV

and stand, especially when you carry the TV, as they

WARNING

Do not ingest the battery, Chemical Burn Hazard

This product or the accessories supplied with the

product may contain a coin/button cell battery. If

the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can ca-

use severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can

lead to death.

Keep new and used batteries away from children.

If the battery compartment does not close secu-

rely, stop using the product and keep it away from

children.

If you think batteries might have been swallowed

or placed inside any part of the body, seek imme-

diate medical attention.

WARNING

Never place a television set in unstable or inclined

locations. A television set may fall, causing serious

personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly

to children, can be avoided by taking simple pre-

cautions such as;

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the

manufacturer of the television set.

• Only using furniture that can safely support the

television set.

• Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the

edge of the supporting furniture.

• Not placing the television set on tall furniture

(for example, cupboards or bookcases) without

anchoring both the furniture and the television set

to a suitable support.

• Not standing the television set on cloth or other

materials placed between the television and

supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing

on furniture to reach the television set or its

controls. If your existing television set is being

retained and relocated, the same considerations

as above should be applied.

WALL MOUNTING WARNINGS

• Read the instructions before mounting your TV

on the wall.

• The wall mount kit is optional. You can obtain from

your local dealer, if not supplied with your TV.

• Do not install the TV on a ceiling or on an inclined

wall.

• Use the specied wall mounting screws and other

accessories.

• Tighten the wall mounting screws rmly to prevent

the TV from fall. Do not over-tighten the screws.

WARNING

Apparatus connected to the protective earthing of

the building installation through the MAINS conne-

ction or through other apparatus with a connection

to protective earthing – and to a television distri-

bution system using coaxial cable, may in some

circumstances create a re hazard. Connection to

a television distribution system has therefore to be

provided through a device providing electrical iso-

lation below a certain frequency range (galvanic

isolator, see EN 60728-11)

ferrites to guarantee a sufcient

immunity and emission against

parasitic frequency radiation. And

make sure to use a High-Speed

HDMI cable that can transmit

high denition signals, such as

4K contents, for trouble-free

transmission.

If you want to connect a

device to the TV, make

sure that both the TV
